# Project enclosure

Project enclosure: a box for a small electronics project, its lid held by four M3 screws and nuts so it comes off again. The front has a switch and a power jack, the back a USB port, and the lid and the sides vents. Change the cutouts to suit your board.

This design has 6 parts on 1 sheet. Customize it in the [playground](https://kerfscript.mylasertools.com/playground/?model=project-enclosure).
